We can’t control the circumstances that life gives us, but we can take our stories marred by brokenness and tell better ones. We can hold the broken stories of others and help them tell better ones. We can change the broken story of our world by telling better ones. It starts with us. #writing

Us light-bringers don’t get to take the easy way out of this life. As much as we may want to give up, there is something inside of us that the universe recognizes and won’t let you quit your creative endeavors until you reach those you are supposed to reach. #writing #artists #creatives #writers

We all need to know that there is a resolution. We all want to know that the struggle that happens in our lives is for a purpose. That our souls are connected to something deeper in this world that is bigger than we feel. And that is why we instinctively create stories. #writing #storytelling

Writing and telling stories is really about healing. Growing. Expanding. So it’s no wonder the full process involves rewriting. Sometimes we don’t realize what we’ve thought until we look back on what we wrote. #writing #writers #poets #creatives #artists #storytellers

We grow up editing ourselves. We are all raised understanding that we need to sound like someone else—someone more credible, more professional, more popular—in order to be taken seriously. We are taught for our entire lives that our authenticity isn’t good enough. I’m here to tell you that it is.

There are 3 ways to get better at writing: 1. Write every day 2. Live fully present 3. Love well If you are overwhelmed and only investing in the last 2, you are still improving as a writer. Keep going! #writing #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #writerslife

“We dress up our grief in metaphors, we wrap our wounds in poetry, but blood was never ink, and pain wasn’t meant to be beautiful.” Us writers defy the law in nature that says pain can’t be made beautiful. ❤️‍🩹 #writing #poetry #storytellers #magic #pain
